Freedland noted Livingstone’s additionally illiberal comments throughout his career, and also noted Livingstone’s meeting with prominent members of the Jewish community (which included Freedland) where he complained that Jews won’t vote for him because they are rich.

One particular reader (phlebasconsidered) took exception with Freedland’s concerns, commenting:

First, there’s something just funny about a CiF reader complaining that folks spend quiet a bit of time talking and obsessing about Jews in a paper whose fixation with a certain Jewish polity has been demonstrated by the media group’s own data.

And, yes, those Jews – daring to ‘mobilize’ to participate in the political process!

So, the real problem is that British Jews exercise influence disproportionate to their “minority status” – stifling free speech along the way by complaining about antisemitism and, thus, SCARING CiF moderators!

Yes, such uppity Jews: exercising their political rights AND occasionally hitting the report link next to a comment they feel is inconsistent with CiF community standards – a veritable Semitic reign of terror!

Adam, you should have pointed out how ignorant the poster is about Jewish history, specifically English anti-Semitism. Jews have not been residing in the United Kingdom for “1000 years and helped form the UK’s current society”. The Jews were expelled from England in the 13th century by Edward I and were not formally allowed to return until Cromwell in the 17th century. Even then the rights of Jews to function in society were severely restricted unless they embraced shmad like D’Israeli. Given that history, is there no wonder that Red Ken is setting off dog whistles among the Jewish community of the UK?

Funny how you can’t see how your own actions make you the loser you are. Of course, you see that you’re a loser, you just blame the Joos for making you that way.

As for being “owned,” you’re here chastising us. We’re not visiting your rat hole to rip you a new one. In other words, you are our own version of cheap entertainment. And nothing is cheaper than a dubie perspective.
